10 Music Festival Must-Haves

Things you just have to have for your next festival

Festival season is upon us, and it’s important to pack wisely. These items will make your life a lot easier during your next music festival, which leaves more time for relaxation and fun! When you’re prepping for your next festival, these should be on your list for sure:

Instead of carrying a cross body or backpack, try a fanny pack! These are totally hands-free and actually really convenient. It won’t really bounce around while you’re dancing in the crowd, you’ll have easy access to your stuff, and it’ll be hard to lose, since it’s attached to you. If you like the function but don’t like the look, try a belt bag instead!

Band aids

Blisters and cuts can drive you nuts at a festival. Carry some bandaids with you just in case!

Alarms

With so many acts and stages, it can be tough to remember when and where your go-to artists are performing. Set alarms for the acts you want to see to ensure you don’t miss them! It’ll definitely make your life easier during a busy festival.

A comfortable-cute outfit

As fun as festival fashion is, you have to make sure you’re comfortable, too. You might have the cutest boots in the world, but if they’re already hurting before you leave your campsite for the day, you might regret wearing them after a few hours. Go for a look that you like, but remember that you’ll want to be comfortable while you’re walking around. For inspiration, check out our blog on festival fashion at Country Thunder Arizona!

In the age of technology, our phones can really be lifesavers. For huge festivals with thousands of people, it can be so easy to get lost. Having a portable charger will make sure you can always contact your friends in case your phone dies. Plus, you’ll want to have your phone on to take a ton of pictures and videos!

Bonus: Meeting Spot

Even if you have a backup battery, there is a chance your phone (or your friends’) could die while you’re out and about. Before you get into the fun of the festival, take a second to establish a meeting spot in case one of more of you get lost. It can really help out in a dire situation!
